Played a new guy thursday. Will call him German.
Very friendly, nice guy, had not played for a while but you could tell he knew what he was doing. Had a nice touch, better than me at kill and pinch shots. Even had a really solid serve. Very unique style, did a lot of three wall shots.
But I was faster and just plain got to more balls. Playing someone as good as he was made me really step up, so my shotmaking improved.
Sadly, we only got 45 - 50 minutes of play in before he ran out of gas. 3 of the four games were competitive as we were tied at 1, 12 and 13. 4th and final game was a squash. Lot of fun, hope to play him again.
Thing about it is...I am pretty confident now when I play someone new. I know my skills are good enough that I am odds on favorite to win most of the games because, while I have never played a really top flight player, I have seen nobody at either club whom I cannot compete with. So that is pretty cool.

My writings on random games. Normally it is No Limit Texas Hold -Em but you might find the odd golf or other game represented as well. Lots of theory, examples of memorable hands, and other miscellaneous stuff that intrigues me.
